The Truth About Food Insecurity
We live in a world with a rapidly growing population. Some people would have you believe that food insecurity is caused by overpopulation, or that we've reached the earth's carrying capacity. Is that really the case? In this episode we'll take a brief look at the data and figure out why some people have so much food, and others are starving.

The Shocking Truth About Food Insecurity | Clancy Cash Harrison | TEDxWilmingtonWomen
20% of kids are plagued by food insecurity - they lack reliable access to nourishing food.
As a nutritionist Clancy’s mistake was assuming people had access to the quality food they needed. This resulted in their inability to provide healthy meals even after she taught them how.
Clancy debunks some popular myths behind food insecurity, revealing the hidden causes - and actual solutions that are making a difference.
A catalyst for social change, Clancy challenges assumptions about hunger in the US. Her mission to demolish stigma around food assistance programs places her on the cutting edge of research, implementation, and advocacy.

In Iowa, Christina Dreier and her husband often must choose between paying bills and buying enough food for their family, despite having many of the trappings of middle-class life. Food stamps and the local food pantry provide some relief, but sometimes the Dreiers’ best efforts aren’t enough.

How climate change is making food insecurity worse
Food insecurity is reaching an all-time high and the growing climate crisis could force an extra 183 million people into hunger by 2050.
So how does climate change actually impact food security and how do we ensure that a worldwide food shortage doesn't become the next global crisis?

What We Get Wrong When We Think About Food Insecurity | Leslie Campbell | [email protected]
Leslie Campbell works at a non-profit food bank in Toronto and has much experience in dealing with food insecurity.

Starved: Our Food Insecurity Crisis
More than a million people in Pennsylvania are hungry because they cannot afford or do not have access to healthy food. For some, food insecurity is a matter of financial need. But often, entire communities are cut off from proper nutrition because there are no grocery stores nearby. These so-called "food deserts" are not the only challenge. Some neighborhoods have turned into "food swamps" - places dominated by fast-food restaurants. Further, isolation as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has made matters worse.
This documentary examines food insecurity as a societal problem, identifying the causes and exploring the many ways in which the government, non-profits, farmers and individuals are working to bring nutritious meals to the tables of those who need it. For more information ...

Millions of Americans currently struggle with hunger, and those numbers are on the rise. And while the price of fresh food has risen in recent decades, junk food remains plentiful and often cheap.

Leslie Campbell works at a non-profit food bank in Toronto and has much experience in dealing with food insecurity. In his talk, he emphasizes the important relationship between food insecurity and structural racism. He highlights that solutions to food insecurity must be monetary-based in order to be truly effective. He details the importance of government action, and the steps that everyone can take to help alleviate food insecurity. As a student, Leslie spent a year in Northern Thailand managing an organic farm and developing an agricultural training curriculum, which inspired him to pursue a Master's degree in Geography focusing on the social and ecological aspects of food systems. He then returned overseas, spending two years teaching agriculture in Indonesia and two years working in agricultural research and training in Ethiopia, after which Leslie returned to Canada, excited to engage with food issues more locally. Leslie now works for FoodShare Toronto, where he supports community-led food access initiatives, research and advocacy. This work seeks to broaden conversations about food insecurity to include discussions of the many systems of oppression that hold it in place. He believes strongly in income-based solutions to food insecurity as implemented alongside universally accessible public services, and in the need for those most impacted by these issues to lead the solution-finding process.

Food insecurity refers to the lack of reliable access to nutritious food due to financial constraints. But we found that it doesn’t exist only among the lower-income or the elderly poor.
In a two-part special, CNA Insider investigates the issue of hunger, and the efforts to address it in Singapore. WATCH Part 2: Feeding the hungry - and how to do it better https://youtu.be/dLVSKx8Wl70
We spent months talking to recipients of food aid, and groups like The Food Bank Singapore, Free Food From All, Food From The Heart, Keeping Hope Alive, Willing Hearts, Volunteer Switchboard and SG Food Rescue.
UPDATE: Clarifications from the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), which reached out to some of the profiles with their permission:
- (5:10-34) Income is not the sole criteria for ComCare assistance. Applicants' needs are assessed holistically, such as food, financial debts, healthcare, employment, family-relationship issues, and housing needs. In Sam's case, he approached the SSO in 2015 over rental assistance and declined to apply for financial assistance.
- (9:35-10:40) Azhar has to apply to extend his ComCare assistance every 3 months, because the period of assistance is aligned with the three-month duration of his medical certificates. He had last applied in late August 2019, and submitted his doctor's memo (certifying him unfit for work) on Sept 25. His application was approved a week later, on Oct 3.
- (9:45-52) Most applications for assistance are processed in 2-4 weeks, once necessary documents are submitted. Almost all are processed within 6 weeks.

*Update: Clarifications from the Ministry of Social and Family Development have been added to the comments.
Singapore is famous for its cheap hawker food, including the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world. Why does hunger, or food insecurity, still exist in this city?

Food insecurity refers to the lack of reliable access to nutritious food due to financial constraints. But we found that it doesn’t exist only among the lower-income or the elderly poor.
In a two-part special, CNA Insider investigates the issue of hunger, and the efforts to address it in Singapore. WATCH Part 2: Feeding the hungry - and how to do it better https://youtu.be/dLVSKx8Wl70
We spent months talking to recipients of food aid, and groups like The Food Bank Singapore, Free Food From All, Food From The Heart, Keeping Hope Alive, Willing Hearts, Volunteer Switchboard and SG Food Rescue.
UPDATE: Clarifications from the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), which reached out to some of the profiles with their permission:
- (5:10-34) Income is not the sole criteria for ComCare assistance. Applicants' needs are assessed holistically, such as food, financial debts, healthcare, employment, family-relationship issues, and housing needs. In Sam's case, he approached the SSO in 2015 over rental assistance and declined to apply for financial assistance.
- (9:35-10:40) Azhar has to apply to extend his ComCare assistance every 3 months, because the period of assistance is aligned with the three-month duration of his medical certificates. He had last applied in late August 2019, and submitted his doctor's memo (certifying him unfit for work) on Sept 25. His application was approved a week later, on Oct 3.

More than a million people in Pennsylvania are hungry because they cannot afford or do not have access to healthy food. For some, food insecurity is a matter of financial need. But often, entire communities are cut off from proper nutrition because there are no grocery stores nearby. These so-called "food deserts" are not the only challenge. Some neighborhoods have turned into "food swamps" - places dominated by fast-food restaurants. Further, isolation as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has made matters worse.
This documentary examines food insecurity as a societal problem, identifying the causes and exploring the many ways in which the government, non-profits, farmers and individuals are working to bring nutritious meals to the tables of those who need it.
